IAIN HAMILTON Ad.Dip.Couns MBACP

I am a fully qualified and experienced counsellor and can provide warm, genuine and respectful support. I work from home just outside Wadhurst village in a welcoming and confidential location.

I recognise that it’s natural to feel overwhelmed when first seeking support. Call me to discuss, in confidence, what troubles you. I offer an initial consultation that is free of charge. This will give you an opportunity to meet me and to explore and assess your current experience of life. Following this you will be free to decide, without obligation, if you wish to proceed further and if so I would be pleased to offer you a regular weekly appointment.

At your own pace I will encourage you to share your concerns and to sensitively explore the underlying issues that may be prompting you to seek guidance, so that you may use the time in counselling both effectively and as a restorative experience. I endeavour to promote greater self-awareness and self-care, providing insight with which to make sense of your current feelings, thoughts and behaviour. This will be done non-judgementally.

Through the experience of really feeling listened to and working collaboratively I will aim to both motivate and enable you to recognise your personal potential and help you identify what it is in your life that you want to change. I will support you in achieving these changes and of finding meaningful and positive ways forward.

Counselling can be a journey of varying duration and influenced by many factors. Everyone is unique. I offer both brief or more extended periods of engagement. This is influenced by the scope of personal complexity in addition to your currently perceived challenges and personal needs. Regular review will be implemented to monitor the effectiveness of the process in meeting your aims and expectations. Counselling usually comes to an end by mutual consent and preparation.
